“A Passionate Pursuit”
Thursday, March 25 - Saturday, March 27, 2010
“A Passionate Pursuit,” featuring the WASP—Women Airforce Service Pilots—a spirited squadron of pilots who left their homes and jobs at the height of World War II to serve their country as the first American women to fly for the U.S. Military. Fantasy of Flight’s Living History Symposium Series continues with this event in honor of Women’s History Month, and will bring to life the experiences of some of America’s most courageous aviators through permanent and semi-permanent exhibits, real aircraft, and most importantly, personal stories from real WASP pilots who will be answering questions and interacting with guests.
Fantasy of Flight's WASP exhibition, which includes aircraft as well as four separate bays that feature historical, anecdotal, and inspirational newsreel footage, original photos, and storytelling panels from the 1940s and today, will serve as the perfect backdrop for the historic appearances from these real, original WASP.
